Definitely a 4 Plus ---

Better than a 4 but not as good as a 5!The year is 1699 and Zachariah Hale, heir apperent to the Hale Shipping Firm in England desires to win his love by saving Mawberry from disaster. Boy, was that a bad idea. Ha! His grandfather has other ideas! He binds his grandson to two years indenture in the Colonies to teach him a leason.Zach arrives in the Maryland Colony on the "Excalibur" with a sailor he befriended, Tom Archer. [Don't forget I am leaving a lot out of the tale.] When Zachariah arrives in Maryland he finds himself bound over to the widow of his grandsire's friend, William Keane. William having died, leaving a grieving, pregnant widow and a mean, kiniving son, who is older than his wife. And the step-son means to have even her inheritance.Now there is a lot of fun in Zack haveing to learn to take orders when he was used to giving them. And would you believe that he is the only one at the farm at the time that Julia Keane gives birth. She has been working hard and driving her servants to get the five acres of tobacco crop planted as she must show a profit to secure the inheritance of the farm for her son.The maid, Nan and handyman, Daniel help in educating Zach in the ways of the Colonies. [grin. Daniel and Zach meets Tom at the Golden Noose for a little imbibeing. Another Not good idea. Oh, what a headache!She has only been used to a man of Williams' stature, marrying him at the age of 18 and now has no knowledge of how to handle a raw masculine creature such as Zach. She must tame him as Zach's grandsire wished William to.Julia's maid, Nan, urges her to look on Zach as a potential husband as one is needed to survive the the new world.Ah, you will also meet the old biddy's who do not believe anything good of Julia as William was three times her age when he married her. And then Trevor, the abusive step-son tries many times to grab control of Julia's life and decides he must get rid of Zach.Boy did that present problems. You should enjoy how the story ends and all the lives are made solid in the village of Fairwater. Quite a turnabout for an English dandy.
